Introducing the PlasMil™ Series: A Plasma-Assisted Ball Milling Solutions

ACS Material's PlasMil™ Series represents the advanced powder processing technology, integrating cold plasma field discharge with mechanical vibratory ball milling to deliver unprecedented efficiency, precision, and material innovation. Developed through years of research and protected under PCT international patent applications filed in the United States, Japan, and European member states, the PlasMil™ line has already been adopted by many international universities, research institutes, and industrial partners.

PlasMil™ L3

The PlasMil™ L3 model introduces cold plasma into a near-atmospheric vibratory milling environment, enabling the formation of high-energy non-equilibrium plasma directly within the milling jar. This synergistic interaction between plasma and mechanical energy promotes ultrafine powder refinement, alloying, surface activation, and enhanced in-situ gas–solid reactions. By minimizing contamination and accelerating reaction kinetics, the L3 provides researchers with a powerful tool for developing next-generation materials across energy, catalysis, and nanotechnology fields.

PlasMil™ S3

Designed with a focus on stability and demonstration, the PlasMil™ S3 features a sealed plasma-integrated chamber that operates under near-atmospheric pressure, providing a highly controlled and observable milling environment. The combination of cold plasma and high-energy mechanical agitation refines powder microstructures and facilitates chemical bonding, activation, and recombination at the atomic level. Its transparent configuration and safe operation make it ideal for teaching, research, and small-scale experimental applications.

PlasMil™ E-20L

For laboratories and pilot-scale operations seeking greater capacity, the PlasMil™ E-20L extends the same advanced plasma-assisted mechanism to a 20-liter high-energy milling system. The resulting non-thermal plasma environment enhances powder uniformity, reaction activation, and alloy formation while maintaining exceptionally low contamination levels. Engineered for semi-continuous production, the E-20L enables efficient scale-up from research to application, bridging the gap between laboratory discovery and material manufacturing.

A Leap Forward in Materials Innovation

By integrating non-thermal plasma technology into the ball milling process, the PlasMil™ Series opens new pathways for the synthesis and modification of materials—from battery electrodes and catalytic powders to ceramics and advanced alloys. This unique synergy between plasma chemistry and mechanical energy not only redefines the efficiency of ball milling but also unlocks novel material structures and properties unattainable through conventional methods.
